So I need to set up an application server with glassfish and I was wondering which one I should go with. Usually I hear that it's best to go with the one you're most comfortable with, but in this case since it's not a regular web server, would something like Solaris be a better fit or is there a specific linux distro I should use?

To Clarify, I'm looking for something easy to set up for Java Web Applications (Java EE) that would require minimal configuration to run.

I've always had great luck with Ubuntu Server. It's easy to install, easy to maintain, and Ubuntu's documentation is second to none. A quick bit of Googling even returns a tutorial for glassfish on Ubuntu.

I always believe in the use of the system you are most comfortable with. I run a lot of CentOS / RHEL 5 and a quick search brought up this how to for glassfish. That being said I am sure there are how tos out there for just about any OS and glassfish.
Glassfish on CentOS
Glassfish on Solaris
Glassfish on Windows

I would say that any of the supported platforms are a good choice. ;)
